About the Annual Fund
"We have found The Public to be a valuable cultural resource. We have enjoyed the mix of classics, new plays and musicals that both entertain and challenge. The theater is a reflection of society, the time and issues that are going on. You have to think when you come here. We try to be open-minded."
- Alex and Pat Boyer
Longtime Donors & Subscribers since Season 1
The mainstay of Pittsburgh Public Theater's fund raising efforts is the Annual Fund. Through this on-going fund raising campaign, The Public raises revenue to offset general operating expenses and to provide its extensive education and outreach programs.
While The Public regularly earns a little more than half of its general operating budget through ticket sales, the remainder must be generated through contributions to the Annual Fund.
Pittsburgh Public Theater receives Annual Fund support from a variety of sources. The largest amount of funding comes from foundations, followed by donations from individuals, corporations, government, and special events.
